Actually, yes. It's one of the only professions (besides waiters) that there is a tipping expectation

I moved recently. I used a charedi mover and negotiated price down and he said no problem just please tip the boys (younger bochurim). I gave them 100 each. In that case make sure you negotiate as low as possible with the mover.

I offered the current movers a tip and they handed it back to me. The previous ones were so bad that we refused to tip at all. Even though they asked.

Don't tip for a bad job. Please.

Check with the company.
The company we used it was part of the service we signed on was a flat fee and a tip of x amount to each worker.
I can't remember now it was 5 yrs ago.

Ask to clarify but almost always YES.

Yes.
We have used the same mover for a few moves over several years and the owner always clarified beforehand how much to tip. And we always bought pizza and drinks for lunch as well.

Yes they have always asked for tips in my experience, I think like 15% of overall cost
